Marquez Valdes-Scantling Available In Week 11
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) will play in Week 11 versus the L.A. Chargers. The wideout was under the weather throughout the week but practiced in full on Friday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) out on Sunday night, Valdes-Scantling, who had three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars in Week 10, could be a featured wideout for Patrick Mahomes.
Nov 19, 2022 • 5:06 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Returns To Work Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) will return to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. It's good news for the Chiefs, but wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) haven't practiced this week, leaving them iffy for Sunday night's showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. MVS had his first 100-yard game of the year in Week 7, caught just one pass for 12 yards in Week 9 and then went for 60 yards and his first touchdown of the year on three catches last week. He's been a volatile fantasy starter, but if both Smith-Schuster and Hardman are unable to play, Valdes-Scantling will basically become a must-start in KC's high-upside offense.
Nov 17, 2022 • 7:13 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Good To Go On Sunday Night
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is officially active on Sunday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old has 10 catches for 105 yards heading into this one. However, it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations so far during his first season with the Chiefs. Still, he is a talented wideout and is capable of making things happen on the fantasy end. As a result, managers should at least consider him a risky flex option with upside in Week 4.
Oct 2, 2022 • 11:02 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Plans To Suit Up On Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) plans to suit up for Sunday's meeting with Tampa. The 27-year-old missed Thursday's practice session while being limited during a few sessions throughout the week. Valdes-Scantling has caught 10 of his 18 targets for 105 yards in his first three games with the Chiefs. However, he has yet to find the end zone. Under normal circumstances, he would be considered a flex option at best. Yet, since there's a chance Valdes-Scantling won't be 100% despite his availability, fantasy managers may want to consider holding him out of this one.
Oct 2, 2022 • 1:49 AM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Questionable For Sunday Night
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Valdes-Scantling was a limited participant in practice on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday. Although he hasn't produced much for fantasy yet this season, Valdes-Scantling is third on the Chiefs in targets and has played on over 70% of snaps in each of the first three weeks, so there would be a clear opportunity for other weapons to step up if MVS were to miss Sunday night's contest. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson, and rookie Skyy Moore could all see a bump in usage, with Smith-Schuster and Hardman being the most appealing flex options. Fantasy managers should check in on Valdes-Scantling's availability on Sunday before deciding to deploy any Kansas City wideouts in their starting lineups.
Oct 1, 2022 • 6:06 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Misses Practice Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) did not take part in Thursday's practice. Valdes-Scantling was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so he's trending towards being questionable for the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. Through the first three weeks of the season, MVS is fourth on the team in receptions (10), third in targets (18) and fourth in receiving yards (105) and he's failed to find the end zone so far in his first year in KC. If he's truly questionable for the Sunday night game against the Bucs this weekend, it will be hard to recommend Valdes-Scantling as a flex option in deeper fantasy leagues. Check back on Friday for his official designation heading into Week 4.
Sep 29, 2022 • 11:39 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Limited At Wednesday's Practice
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with an abdominal injury and could be limited in practice this week. The 27-year-old hauled in 10 catches for 105 yards over three games in 2022. He will have two more chances to log a full practice to suit up for Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. MVS is competing with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore for targets in the Chiefs' passing attack. Valdes-Scantling is a boom-or-bust flex option if active against the Bucs on Sunday night.
Sep 29, 2022 • 1:04 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling Will Be Ready For Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (concussion) said he will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals. Valdes-Scantling said he has cleared the league's concussion protocols and was able to practice on Sunday. The 27-year-old missed the team's preseason finale last Thursday against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers will have him available to begin the regular season. MVS is fully expected to start for the Chiefs in three-wide sets in his first year in KC next to JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, and if he stays healthy, he could have a very nice season for the Chiefs. He was never much of a factor in his four seasons with the Packers, though, but he has averaged a healthy 17.5 yards per catch in his time in the NFL. Consider him a WR4/5 in your upcoming fantasy drafts with upside for more.
Aug 29, 2022 • 6:13 PM | RotoBallerMarquez Valdes-Scantling In Concussion Protocol
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (concussion) didn't play during Thursday's preseason finale versus the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old is currently in concussion protocol. While the details regarding how he ended up in this position are vague, it may not keep him off the field for Week 1. After Valdes-Scantling suited up for the Packers throughout the first four years of his career, he has a chance to be the top-producing wideout for his new team. However, if he misses time, it wouldn't be ideal for those who already drafted him. Nevertheless, an absence from the veteran for the season opener against Arizona would mean Travis Kelce, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore would be the favorites to see more attention from Patrick Mahomes. The same can be said for JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), assuming he's healthy to begin the year.
